The series is a showcase, a celebration even, of comedy in all its varied forms. More than just a stand-up or sketch comedy program, The Comedy Show Show is a curated anthology of comedic elements. Throughout the series, each episode endeavors to stand out by focusing on a specific theme, genre, or style of comedy, highlighting the broad spectrum of humor it is capable of depicting. From ripe satire to classic slapstick, the program proudly boasts an extensive comedic repertoire.

It cherry-picks from a wide variety of preexisting live performances and stand-up talks, not unlike an expert sommelier who selects the perfect wine to compliment a gourmet meal. Furthermore, the show incorporates challenging comedic formats such as comedic debates and improv, to the more familiar stand-up comedy, to unravel the versatility and boundary-pushing potential of humor.

Hosted by Will Arnett, an accomplished actor, comedian, and producer known for his roles in Arrested Development and BoJack Horseman, The Comedy Show Show embraces an expertise and dry wit. Arnett's comedic persona lends an extra layer of fun to the series, be it through his deadpan delivery or his quick-witted back-and-forth with guests. On a show featuring remarkable comedic talent, having a host with an acclaimed comedy career simply adds more richness to the spectacle.

Finally, the series offers an immersion into the rich and varied landscape of comedy. It’s not just the performances and the personas that make up this landscape but also the atmosphere that surrounds them – the thrill of a live stage, the expectation from the crowds, the buzz in the clubs, and more. The Comedy Show Show is not only about bringing the comic’s stage to the television screen. It is about considering comedy within the context of where it happens and the people for whom it's performed.
